During CFAW 2024, I had the privilege of hosting an IG Live series called "From The Sidelines" where I interviewed people who are on the sidelines of the journey and rarely get to speak about their experience of a fertility journey.
We recorded this as an IG Live, BUT also as a podcast! So if you missed it on the gram, here it is in podcast form.
Robbie Tkatch, joins us to speak about his personal experience on a 4 year fertility journey. How his perspective was different than his wife's, how he worked through tough conversations and emotions and proves AMAZING advice on how to support. If you want to hear his whole story listen to Episode 105 with Brooke Tkatch.
